On an embedded card? I think he said the graphics chip was on the
motherboard and not a separate pci or pci-x card.

If the OP is using a 64 bit ubuntu there is another package that needs
to be installed or googleearth won't work - it'll just display a black
screen and never connect to the googleearth server. The package is
something like lib32nss-mdns.


Yes the Video chip is on the motherboard and it has a small aluminum
heat sink on it. I might just try a fan sucking the heat away.

You can buy a small fan and direct it towards the chip. I'd also
recommend checking the thermal heatsink compound under the heatsink -
could be that they forgot to put some on properly. Probably wouldn't
hurt to put another heatsink on top of the other one, or just buy a
better heatsink. Either way, you'll need to fix the problem so that you
don't have problems later on.


My Ubuntu is plain 32 bit and it works great. I just have trouble
with added software.
